I have an older HF8000 winch it has never failed to work when I needed it. A couple times it needed a break before I could spool the cable back in.

Where are the cheaper Warn Winches made? I bought their receiver clevis mount over another one because the because the box said made in the USA. When I opened it the mount said made in Korea and the clevis was a cheap chinese one I am afraid to use. I sent Warn an E-mail and never got a reply but the boxes don't say made in USA anymore. The box was the only thing made here.

The Warn VR winches are assembled in Portland, OR along with all the other truck winches.
